Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hailed Nico Yennaris as a shining example for other young players.
As well as giving youngsters like Hector Bellerin, Kris Olsson, Serge Gnabry, Craig Eastmond and Ignasi Miquel the chance of some first-team action, Wenger will also give some of his fringe players the opportunity to impress. Such is the current depth of Wenger's squad, which has made an unbeaten start to the new season following Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester City, Andrey Arshavin and Theo Walcott have struggled to make an impact, but should start on Wednesday. Brazil international Andre Santos and Swiss defender Johan Djourou are also expected to come into the side, while French striker Olivier Giroud is looking for his first goal since his summer move from Montpellier and midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong may be in contention for the squad after recovering fitness from a serious knee injury.
